This was an early on assignment that i quite liked, as was i was able to come up with it in a few minutes in class. For the most part I would keep this definition of what is history as it is. I believe the entire basis of History is the aspect of cataloging. All moments in time have a place, a time and a meaning. A meaning of a moment can be found by just examining the account, artifact or interview. But without the time and place the meaning can be lost and there can be almost no context behind it.  The main points that i would add today would be that there is more to history then just the artifacts and documents behind it. There is the actual relationships people had with each other and/or their environment (natural or built up spaces). And i believe that these relationships are why we study history because with out them we wouldn’t have any clue of who the people of the past are.
